When you open a PDF saved on my computer, Firefox will open several tabs for all of the PDF files I have in a folder. Why?

Recently, I tried to open some files in Adobe to view on my company computer. They have been recorded on my shared drive companies, and everyone seems to be able to open the files very well. When I try to open the files the program proceeds to open Firefox and wonder through the internet, if I want to download the file. At the beginning it wasn't a problem, because it was just a minor inconvenience. So today, I was working in a folder containing several files PDF (about 125 to express my frustration) and when I click on a file to open it, Adobe proceeded to open all PDF files in the folder. This means that each file opened a new tab in Firefox and proceeded to ask me if I wanted to download it. As I hope you can tell, I quickly became frustrated because I wanted only one file and it would not stop opening new tabs to ask me the same question 125 times. The only way to stop it was to open the Task Manager and go forward to force Firefox altogether.

I tried to update the program on my computer (it was already up to date), I tried to update the plugin Firefox (it was already up to date) to adobe, I tried the repair Adobe Reader Installation (it doesn't make a difference), and I searched the internet for information about the problem (I was not successful in finding something that relates). According to me, the only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the program on my computer, something I do not want to make I already said that it is a company computer.

If there is someone who can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.

Then, you need Adobe Reader, the default application to open PDFs, instead of FireFox. I think that FireFox just started doing this, and it is causing some confusion.

As well as the normal way of Windows to change the default application, which is not also known as it should be, you should be able to use Adobe Reader. In Edit > Preferences in the General section and see if there is a button "select default PDF Manager."

  • In FF password manager (30.0), when you open change, what are all the fields and how you fill them?

    When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated.
    What is the difference?

    Then, there are fields for the host, submit the prefix, username, password, etc.
    How to fill out these fields?

    When you click for the Manager "assumes that of the current Page", all fields not necessarily fill up, so it's just for the username and password?
    I use constantly editing function, so it's a little strange to not see that further instructions here.

    When I click on tools, the saved password dialog box is on the list, so it's in my toolbar all the time.
    I use it constantly.

    What is the last password security? I know there are competitors of ideas. What is Mozilla?

    Thank you.

    Personally, I do not record the connections site in Firefox. The FireFTP extension records the FTP connections, so I use a master password to protect the people.

    I know I should finally pass a manager based password on a cloud, because if often, I forgot my login and have to reset, but... I have not bypassed by comparing the features and tests.

  • Properties of C301a are not open when you print a PDF file

    My printer was working fine but suddenly the properties will not open when printing a PDF file.

    Hey @MtVernon1910,

    I have to recommend at this stage that contact you support backup of lizard for further assistance if you have purchased the full version of the Lizard Safeguard software.

    LockLizard - Support

    However, if you use the free to Lizard Safeguard PDF Viewer you are not eligible for the support of Lizard Safeguard and need to contact the site where you download the abandoned coat pattern to go would either have them allow you to download and view a PDF through Adobe unsecured. Or try a different file such as JPEG or TIFF type to print.

    If the Properties window does not appear in the Lizard Safeguard software and you need to change the printing preferences, you can:

    1. Click on the start menu
    2. Select "devices and printers".
    3. Right click on your printer C309a and left click on 'Print Options' to change your settings.
    4. Once your settings, open your PDF in lizard backup and when you print it to remember the parameters that you set under printing options. Once the print job is completed, return to the devices and printers, and open your new product printing preferences to restore everything to the way it was before you print the PDF file.

    If the problem is that the print dialog box does not open for you, try hitting Ctrl + P your keyboard at the same time and should prompt the print dialog window to open.

    Good luck!

  • I've updated to firefox 5.0, and when I try to close the window after you open several tabs, they cannot be saved anymore.

    In older versions when I have several tabs open and tried to close the window, he asked me if I really want to close and if I want them reopenned for the next session.

    After updating this feature no longer exists.

    He asks if I don't know that I want to close as many tabs.

    Firefox 4 and later versions Save the previous session automatically, so it is no longer need for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.

    Use ' file > leave "or" Firefox > Exit "(Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox") If you want to restore multiple windows.

    You can use ' history > restore previous Session ' to get the previous session at any time.

    You may need to click the Firefox orange/gray button to see history.

    There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

  • Hyperlink address get truncated when you create a pdf file of MS Access.

    I have a MS Access 2002 Report that I need to export to a pdf file.  I have several text boxes and several areas of hyperlink.  Hyperlinks appear in the pdf file, however, when I click on the link, Acrobat recognizes only the first line of the address and the links do not work.

    For example, here is a sample hyperlink address notification that it wraps around the box:

    http://Forms.Adobe.com/

    post/input_etc

    When I click on the link, Internet Explorer opens and tries to go to http://forms.adobe.com/ however, since the entire address is not on the same line, IE cannot open the link.

    I need to create PDF files in the database and cannot spend the time fixing this issue every time.

    I had Acrobat Pro 8 and have upgraded to Pro 9, but the problem persists.

    I would appreciate anyones help to understand what is the question.  I need to get this problem is resolved.

    Thank you.

  • Firefox crashes when you open new tab

    Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407

    I tried:
    Clean install (with the removal of C:prog... \Mozilla)
    Uninstallation and removal of extensions
    Firefox restarted in safe mode without addons/extensions.
    Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe

    Can I start firefox, but when I press on the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and the ' Mozilla Crash report ' window opens.
    It seems that firefox it self can open a tab. For example, when I do a new installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.

    But when I want to open one that it breaks down and Firefox stops. Its really weird because I've never run this kind of problem before and I don't remember installing anything new until this problem appeared.

    What is the setting of the new tab page?

    You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page.
    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Color separation when you export a PDF file

    She was driving me crazy, ADOBE seems to have forgotten to separate colors when using export to PDF method.  Even quark has this option.

    In any case, I expect to know if there is a way that I don't know.

    See you soon

    On behalf of Adobe...

    Adobe applications, including InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop intentionally omitted the ability to initiate a previously separated PDF workflow. Even if we could hack together previously separated PDF format by producing PDF via PostScript distillation (another stream of work that strongly discourage us at Adobe), the concept behind modern PDF of publication workflows must leave content in its final form at the highest level of abstraction until it must be made, if this rendering is on the screen (a device intrinsically RGB) 4 dye Printing CMYK, or high-fidelity print using traditional CMYK dyes and other coloring such as bright green and orange or light cyan and light magenta as well.

    Once you separate the PDF, you can't really see the PDF for normal playback, you can not easily search or edit, and you cannot change the target printing condition. You can also not dynamic transparency in a previously separate PDF file! And modern native PDF RIPs do not work with these workflow! No ISO PDF / X standard supports these workflows either!

    You want or need to preview separations? Use the preview feature separation of Acrobat (or even the creation of applications).

    If you work with a Luddite printing service provider that requires this PDF files or creates internally, you really need to consider very seriously the other print service providers.

  • When you open several image files in CC they float to the back, behind the current open files

    When I work on an image or images (not Docked (fasteners) in PS CC on iMac OS x 10.9 Maverick, if I open a new file, it opens in the front.  The newly open file open hidden/behind the currently open files, and yet if I got to the drop down window it clearly shows the newly opened file is selected and the file I'm working on, even if its behind all images previously opened and I cannot see it entirely.  Hard to explain but everyone has found this question?   Its weird and awkward when working at full capacity.

  • Is it possible to reuse the mapping file which was produced to match the FrameMaker styles to RoboHelp when you create a PDF file in RoboHelp?

    I use RoboHelp 11 to produce WebHelp. The documentation has been previously written in FrameMaker and published in PDF format, but he suffered many outings since then. I am now prompted to create the help PDF and WebHelp. Not really a problem except that the help format doesn't look particularly good in PDF format (not designed for two).

    Ideally, I would just use the mapping file to the original frame to the RoboHelp conversion in sense (with some editing) reverse - to convert RoboHelp styles in original FrameMaker formats when I create the PDF, however, A) there doesn't seem to be an option for that and B) originally FrameMaker in RoboHelp map file does not seem have been kept after this conversion.  He's here and I'm just not see it?

    If necessary I can just create a different CSS to redefine the styles, but if I don't, I rather not.

    I think that even if you can't find mapping information (pass to know where) it would just tell you A Style on the Fm band has been mapped to the B Style in HR but gives you no information on how Style has been set on the Fm band.

    I think your only options are to create a CSS that suggest you or, as I would create, redefine the model of mapping of the Word Style on. By going to the first word, you can change the output for page breaks better and other tweaking you may want.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

  • Color variation when you import a PDF file with transparency masks

    Hi, I have a CC PDF Illustrator with multiple pages and multiple spot colors defined by the user and on some pages of an element containing the mask transparency.

    The problem with color deviation between the pages with and without the object that contains the tx masks as they are imported into InDesign.

    Looking at the page in InDesign with the described object, color chart, imported from Illustrator no longer correspond to any PDF file.

    Without the mask tx, correspond to the Illustrator PDF color chart color placed in the shade in InDesign.

    What is going on?

    Unlike Illustrator, InDesign can support RGB and CMYK colors in the same document. If InDesign won't change the colors of your Illustrator object placed as long as there is no transparency on the spread.

    When transparency is applied to the spread, all objects have to 'mix' by using the same color space. I think that this is necessary if the transparency must be flattened as it should be for many printers. InDesign uses the color set under Edition space > space of merger of transparency to determine the color space. By default, it is a print CMYK document.

  • How can I change the color of text selection when you edit a pdf file?

    I was fussing around with preferences in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (Mac version) and off the selected text color when the text selection. I don't know what preference I changed and can't seem to find a second time to restore the color of text selection. Usually, in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, when the selection of text (note: NOT the text stressing the function), AAP XI has a color to the selected text.  This preference restaurantrare the saltsummer color of the text when you use the selection tool i-beam appearing to the left of the hand tool?
